Tipping in Provo
 
Just a question regarding tipping in Provo. We'll be staying at The Sands for 8 days. What's generally a reasonable amount when bell boys are bringing luggage up to our room? When else are tips generally expected?

the same as anywhere else. 2.00 per bag and 15-20% for meals.

I've heard that at The Sands (where we're staying), they bring you complimentary waters on the beach. Is it common etiquette to tip for this?

Bottled water is given at Coral Gardens and at the Palms. I've never seen them give complementary water at Sands! they do have a waitress that goes around, you can order drinks and food brought to the beach, but of course you have to tip her!

Bottled water at Coral Gardens?

Well, I missed that one! and we spent a lot of time on the beach. We did get the complimentary sorbet twice.
